About

A.B.A.T.E.

(A Brotherhood Aiming Toward Education) is a non-profit independent group of motorcycle enthusiasts who ride different types of motorcycles, but we share a common interest in keeping motorcycling a safe, pleasant sport. We participate in legislative activities, which promote the sport of motorcycling.While one of our goals is to keep helmet use a freedom of choice for motorcyclist, we are not against helmets and many of our members wear them. Again, we feel it should be freedom of choice. We continue to strive towards motorcycle safety awareness and implementation of antidiscrimination laws in the State of Oklahoma (and nationwide). In addition, ABATE members continue to support local communities throughout the State of Oklahoma through toy runs and other events which benefit local charities.
